Note, I'm not arguing that we can't reduce carbon emissions. What I'm arguing is that we'll never succeed at altogether ending anthropogenic emissions. The easy part is decarbonizing the electric grid. In places like the Netherlands this will be hard to achieve with wind and energy alone, but decarbonizing the electric grid is just a fraction of what we have to achieve. Electricity is responsible for about 40% of anthropogenic global CO2 emissions. Let's just agree that we somehow decarbonize the electric grid altogether, overnight. 40% of our carbon emissions, gone. In the real world solar has a carbon footprint of about 10% of that of natural gas and that's without counting emissions involved in storing the electricity. In the real world the electricity production will also have to be dramatically increased if we want people to have the electric heating/cooling and transportation that we're now planning, but let's handwave that away too.…
